We have two daycares here and I have toyed with the idea of taking Bailey there for about a year. He loves other dogs and would love to be able to play off leash with them. I always chicken out, though. My sister worked at a vet office for many years and said she saw a lot of bites from doggie day care. There are just too many variables in a pack of dogs for me to feel safe leaving Bailey unsupervised.

I will not take Charlie to a daycare (no need for it anyway we are home all day) and not to a doggy park. The dog club here would like Pulte to do a dog park (will not happen in the near future), I won't go against them but I will not take Charlie there even if they make one. I might be overprotective but I have read about too many incidents where dogs have been hurt by other dogs. Charlie does not need a dog park, our yard is big enough for him to run unleashed and is fenced. He has my daughter's Rocky to play with from time to time. And her yard is big enough to run unleashed too. Also fenced. Even has grass. I don't think he misses interacting with other dogs.

I just read this, I'm sorry that Gustave got bit! I would not have been so calm, remember I wouldn't let .Dewey around Hardy forever!! I think it's harder on us, than the fluffs! So glad he's OK and behaving normally around other dog's!

Hope that Gustave's eye is doing much better today. I know the second day he may feel a little worse. Poor baby....hugs to you and Gustave.

Thanks for checking in, he's doing well! He slept a little more than usual but that might be because it was such a gloomy day and all of us were being lazy. We got our Barkbox for this month today and he loves the toy that came in it, that's kept him busy for most of the day. There were times when he just looked at me and cried, and he never does that, I am assuming that might be because of pain.

That picture is so sweet. I just love his new blankie too! I love all things doggie....though...My Sammie was snatched from his stroller when he was a puppy. It affected him in some ways. Hates big dogs.
Thank goodness Gustave's eye was not damaged. Does not sound like he is too bothered by the whole event though and that is a really good sign. Daycare visit, bite, vet visit, strangers. No wonder he is bushed.
